I’m Stacey Simms and each week I’ll share the top diabetes stories and headlines of the past seven days.  Whether you’re joining me live on Facebook or watching or listening after, I’m here to get you up to speed quickly on what’s happening with diabetes technology, research, and our community. Since these are headlines and summaries, as always, you’ll find all the sources and links in the Facebook comments and in the show notes at d-c dot com. XX In the News is brought to you by Inside the Breakthrough. A new history of science podcast full of “Did You Know Stuff” XX here’s what’s In The News this week… Couple of buzzy slides from Apple’s World Wide Developer’s Conference. First, this one from their WatchOS 8 update.. they didn’t use the words blood glucose.. but this slide was shown featuring the graphic “blood glucose highlights.” That likely means pulling the data from existing apps like Dexcom or Dario or One Drop, but there are always rumors about Apple releasing a glucose sensor of their own.  We shall see – thanks to Nerdabetic for bringing this to our attention. Another diabetes shout out in this slide - same presentation - about time sensitive notifications. If you look closely you can see the Happy Bob app, which puts funny messages along with glucose notifications. XX Lots of news out of the recent Advanced Technology and Treatments in Diabetes Conference or ATTD. Dexcom showed this slide about their upcoming G7.  We’ve reported on this a lot over the last two years, I’ll link up our previous episodes. but the new info includes: a 30 minute warm up time as opposed to 2 hours right now, and direct to watch capability. Direct to watch from Dexcom – that means you don’t need your phone to see your BG on the watch face anymore - was first announced in June of 2017 with the G5 and that proved more difficult to implement than expected. I’m talking to Dexcom for the podcast later this month so we’ll get a update on what this really means. The G7 is a smaller, all in one with sensor and transmitter applied together. It’s NOT FDA approved yet so there’s no timeline for release. Also, Dexcom put out a study that says people with type 2 who use basal insulin benefit from the use of CGM. The Mobile study took place over eight months. Those who used the CGM increase time in range and showed a full point drop in A1Cs on average. https://twitter.com/ATTDconf/status/1401200753717432328 New data presented on Omnipod 5.. this is just an abstract – full study will be released later this month. This is Insulet’s hybrid closed loop system where it works with the Dexcom to keep a user within a targeted blood sugar range. They looked at children and adults ages 6-70 to measure safety of this new system. A1Cs came down, time in range went up, very low occurrence of hypoglycemia and researchers concluded it was safe. The Omnipod 5 operates in two modes, an automated mode and a manual mode. The system provides automatic insulin delivery with customizable glucose targets from 110 to 150, which can be adjusted by time of day. Omnipod 5 with Horizon is in front of the FDA right now so there’s no timeline on release.   https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2021/05/21/dc21-0172   Also at ATTD - DarioHealth looking at outcomes from their highly personalized apps and system. Dario's study found that personalizing the clinical interventions in response to unique individual actions really helps. That’s opposed to systems with more generalized predictions. This study showed more frequency in blood sugar testing and monitoring in those who received an personalized intervention. https://www.prnewswire.com/il/news-releases/dariohealth-releases-study-demonstrating-the-impact-of-personalized-digital-interventions-to-improve-self-management-of-diabetes-301305650.html XX Early on here but a new closed loop system that knows when you’re eating is being tested – this was a small trial in adolescents and young adults. This is out of UVA – the same place that developed what became Tandem’s Control IQ. The researchers ...
